What Conditions Does Endodontics Treat?

Endodontic care focuses on saving teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted due to internal damage or infection. You may need endodontic treatment if you’re dealing with:

• Persistent tooth pain, especially with chewing or pressure
• Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
• Deep decay reaching the inner tooth structure
• Cracked, fractured, or traumatized teeth
• Swelling or tenderness in the gums
• A darkened or discolored tooth (possible nerve damage)

Even when symptoms are not obvious, regular exams and diagnostic imaging can reveal issues that endodontic treatment can address before they worsen.

Endodontic Services We Offer

At Santa Rita Family Dentistry, our endodontic services go beyond root canal therapy. We take a comprehensive approach to diagnose and treat internal tooth concerns while preserving as much of your natural structure as possible.

Precision Diagnosis with Digital Imaging

We use digital X-rays and advanced imaging tools to evaluate the internal condition of your tooth and surrounding tissues. This helps Dr. Luke identify infections, hidden fractures, and bone changes with clarity and accuracy.

Pulp Therapy

When the pulp becomes inflamed or infected, early intervention—especially in children or teens—can sometimes preserve the tooth without full root canal therapy.

Endodontic Retreatment

If a previously treated tooth becomes painful or reinfected, retreatment may be necessary. Dr. Luke can remove the original filling material, clean the canals again, and reseal the tooth to restore its function.

Treatment for Dental Trauma

Traumatic injuries to the teeth often require endodontic assessment. From dislodged teeth to internal bleeding in the pulp, our team can stabilize and treat dental trauma effectively to minimize long-term damage.

Our Patient-Focused Approach to Endodontics

• A thorough explanation of your condition and all available treatment options

• A relaxed, judgment-free atmosphere
